Hello all,
 
I was recently invited to do a class on ferrets and ferret care at my
magnet high school.  At the conclusion of the four-year course, we'll be
CVTs (certified vet techs), and most of us will (hopefully- send good
thoughts) be going on to college and vet school after the magnet, so it
should be fairly in detail.  Suggestions on subjects to cover and places
where I can get good, cheap charts/tables/posters, etc.  to hang in the
lab/clinic (we're devoid of ferret info, not even any books) would be
greatly appreciated.
 
I'm also thinking of putting forth a motion to convert the lab to a shelter
for wet or evacuee abandoned ferrets.  The veterinary lab is very large
(we're talking warehouse-sized, folks), has tons of grooming stations and
cages, plus our little clinic and a bunch of able-bodied pre vet techs.
And if we need even more room, several other similar scale labs are
connected to it.  Being a high school, we'd have a bunch of phones around,
as well as a big computer lab hooked up to the web.  We're already clear to
have animals in the lab, a big, sturdy buiding, so why not put some ferts
in there?  It would be pretty easy to make the place a storm shelter, and
would give the pre-techs a bit of ferret expirience.  What are everyone's
opinions and suggestions?

impossible, that the road ahead was long, rocky, and had very few petrol
stations, and that my chances of making three score years and ten had
dropped through the floor.  But, for whatever reason, good was what I
felt."
